During a Japanese State of Play event, Arc System Works showcased Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls, their forthcoming brawler developed in collaboration with Marvel and Sony. The studio also announced a second closed beta, scheduled for December 5–7, 2025, with unlimited playtime throughout the weekend. The initial beta phase will also run from December 5–7. Both beta phases will feature the content of the first beta, but the second will expand the roster and environments with two new playable characters: Spider-Man and Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes version), who were playable at Evo France in Nice last month. The new stages include Savage Land, a prehistoric jungle featuring Ka-Zar’s cabin and dinosaurs, and the X-Mansion, the iconic X-Men headquarters populated by cameos from Wolverine, Angel, Colossus, Gambit, and Professor Xavier. The December 5–7 beta offers unlimited playtime, allowing players to practice against AI opponents, learn combos through tutorials, and engage in online battles. The final day is dedicated to online matches, ensuring server stability for the game’s launch.
